GM Worg's From Shore to Sea (Lvl 5-7) (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

Volsung steps forward to join the attack on the red foe. First, he fixes his painful stare upon it, and then, bubbling furiously, stabs at it with his rapier.

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) + 2 = 11

Darrioos shots his bow at the one near the halfling. But his arrow flies into the air.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

"Your garden is overgrown and your cucumbers are soft!" He shouts at the Chuul coming up from the water, swinging his Dorn-Derger at the beast. Victor slams his horns into the monstrosity!

+2 scimitar Power attack-Furious Focus: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 = 11

When the Chuul grab Edwin, Las instinctively grabs his wand of grease and casts it on the Paladin.

UMD + Insp: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 12 + (6) = 25

Dolph is enraged at his beloved goat being captured again. "Give up the goat, overripe seafood!" He enlarges and empowers his attacks. Swift to enlarge, move to martial versatility for power attack

Dolph Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn Dergar (power attack): 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22
Dolph Damage (enlarge, power attack): 2d8 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 6) + 8 + 6 = 28

Victor Damage (power attack): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 = 16

Apologies for my lack of posting the last two days. Currently going through 'hole in heart' syndrome after the funeral.

The Chuul attempt to maintain their grips onto their victims...
Grab Maintain VS Edwin: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 +10 to Edwin's CMD, so fail.
Grab Maintain VS Victor: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20 Natural 1 Auto Fail.

Unable to maintain their grips on the slippery goat and paladin, the Chuul attempt to claw at whatever enemy is most convenient!

Relieved to both Edwin and Victor released from the chuul's, Las once again whips the red chuul, hoping to defeat it as quickly as possible.

Whip vs (r) Chuul w SC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

It's totally fine, GM. Real life comes first!

Dolph shrinks back down, his dear Victor momentarily safe. He still strikes with the fury of an enraged farmer.

Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn Dergar (power attack): 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26
Damage (power attack): 1d10 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 6 = 18

Victor attempts to gore the massive chuul that once held him.

Damage (power attack): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 = 16

The Pathfinders clearly have the edge on this fight! Dolph and Victor land decisive blows on the blue Chuul, dropping it like a rock! The red Chuul is looking worse for wear. Another few blows against it and the Pathfinders will win!

Tesson tries to cast a spell to hurt the remaining monster, attacking twice!

Concentration DC 15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Volsung will attempt a riposte.

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (1) + 2 = 9

Do I also have a regular attack?

Darrioos fires his bow again.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

@Volsung Yes, you do. I'll roll it for you quick.
Volsung Attack VS Red Chuul: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Volsung Damage VS Red Chuul: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (5) + 2 = 15

The combined efforts of Volsung, Darrioos, and Tesson land heavy attacks against the chuul, and soon the abomination of life and water falls under the inflicted wounds.

The Pathfinders find their path open again. Just beyond the chuul is an urn filled with some magical liquid. It radiates moderate conjuration auras.

****************************************************

A steady glow of light and the rhythmic sound of sharp metal on stone come from the corridor ahead.
Map updated.

Las offers his infernal healing to any takers Would like to use rolls from previously declined uses.

Las examines the liquid.

Spellcraft (T10 w Guidance + Inspiration): 20 + 1d6 ⇒ 20 + (2) = 22

"Looks like we have something akin to salve of slipperiness."

If there's enough salve to go around, Las recommends applying it to everyone in the party, starting with the frontliners

GM, thanks for rolling better for Volsung than I did.[/occ]

[ooc]We are moving to the east toward C10, correct, and it looks like there is an opening leading to the blacked out area about 30 feet ahead on our right, correct?

Volsung will slather salve on himself.

"I saw a picture of a kraken once. It did not look pleasant."

When everyone is ready, Volsung will move forward carefully.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Edwin also will apply salve.
He starts to follow Volsung.

perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

Tesson is interested in applying the salve on himself as well, though if there isn't enough, he'll let the others use it before him.

He then looks around, weary of another trap.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Darrioos looks around the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Dolph heals up Victor with a couple charges.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He then casts Barkskin and Magic Fang on Victor and Lead Blades on himself.

"Great Nano always said that fighting seafood is best to be done with fishing preparedness, yes! And we have fought many seafood."

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 +2 more for unusual stonework

The Pathfinders find a wall that appears to be out of match with everything else. The stonework appears too off.

Volsung Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Tesson Will Save: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
Darrioos Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

They find themselves able to disbelieve the illusion that resides over this chamber. The organic walls of this chamber appear diseased, peeling away from the bedrock walls in large flakes. The desiccated carcass of some huge, aberrant sea creature lies atop a large bier-like growth rising in the center of the room. Dried husks composed of what looks like discarded, wrinkled skin lie scattered about the floor, which is coated in a thin veneer of slime.

You dare to trespass where you are not welcome, interlopers. You will suffer a fate more cruel than death itself. Now you shall feel no mercy from I, Mohl'omog.

The tentacled beast lashes out!

Dolph calls upon the aspect of the Hairless Otter Snake and moves in past Edwin to get a clear shot.

Edwin steps closer and starts attacking the creature.

+2 scimitar Power attack-Furious Focus: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 = 16

confirm crit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

"My ancient enemy!"

Darrioos tries to move around the aberration.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

double move

Las does his best to understand the nature of the creature before them.

K ?? wInsp: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (1) = 20

Las then draws his wand of silent images and conjures up an image of a black bear on the far siide of the creature, next to Darrioos. Hoping to have the creature waste attacks against it.

UMD+Insp: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 12 + (3) = 29

@Las Lejas Aboleths are powerful creatures of a primeval time. They are absurdly powerful casters of mental magic. Knowing this, you think attempting to use a silent image spell may not prove effective against it. Would you like to reconsider a different spell or action?

Dolph Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
@Dolph Thankfully, the worst of the effect seems to not take hold as the slime builds up on you.

Oh, thank you. I was just in the middle of posting!

Dolph coughs up blood, but he continues fighting.

Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn-Dergar: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Damage (lead blades): 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 6) + 7 = 20

"VICTOR. WE HAVE A BIG POACHER."

Victor enters the melee as well, using his goatly smite to improve his power against the aboleth.

Gore Attack (power attack): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 = 12
Gore Damage (power attack, smite): 1d4 + 6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 + 6 = 22

Volsung turns his painful stare upon the aboleth and moves down to engage it.

"Playing mind games with this one is likely to fail, better we hack it to bits"

Will possibly take an AOO while closing, and if so, will use Mesmeric Mirror as free action to gain 2 images.

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (4) + 2 = 13

Yes, instead, I'll move to attack. Draw whip and use studied combat. My attack would have been a 22 with the d20 roll of a 14.

Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If that damages the creature, then it cannot take AoO's for one round.

Tesson, tankard at the ready, burps.
He then proceeds to wiggle towards the monstrosity.
The dhampir's "weapon" begins to crack with electricity.

"Begone, ugly... thing!"

Concentration, def|DC17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 NO! GM Reroll!
Concentration, def|DC17: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 17 Phew!

Mighty Magical Tankard, flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 15 Well... that was worth it... at least shocking grasp stays charged.

Swift to make my tankard magical, move to move, standard to cast Shocking grasp through the tankard.

Well, this combat lasted long. I'll start writing up chronicles.

Mohl'omog's voice pieces your minds again.
Hold, creatures. Spare me, and I shall abide by your demands!

Accept, or continue initiative?

Volsung holds his attack for the moment and speaks to the creature in Common.

"You will depart this place and return to the depths of the ocean where you belong?"

Strike this if you think I'm showing too much character knowledge about aboleths.

Las thinks up, "Ahem, you would have to swear to avoid all interference in the lives of sentient species, for eternity."

Tesson shrugs, lowering his yet ineffective tankard.

"Yeah, why not?"

An agreement is made between the Pathfinders and the Aboleth.
So be it. In return for my life, I shall spare those above. You will still need to vanquish the one who summoned me here, however. He resides further in the cave. The voice grows silent. He approaches with his forces now.

As soon as he says that, you hear the sounds of incoming forces of Skum approaching. The leader of them, a Skum in robes that indicates him as a spellcaster, bellows out in rage, "Mohl'omog! What treachery is this?! Obey me, or suffer the consequences!"

They have proven your better, Gerlach. If you desire my powers, you will have to best those who can endanger my life in a matter of moments.

"Graaaaah! Outsiders, I will turn your corpses into chum to feed the slaves!"

Tesson shrugs again, looking at his magical tankard cracking with electricity. He approaches the skum in robes and tries to slap it with a good ol' tankardy smack.

Mighty Magical Tankard: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 31
for Bludgeoning: 1d3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9
and Electricity: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 4, 3) = 16

ZAAAP!

Volsung darts forward, fixing his stare upon the red skum. Arriving at the tip of the flying wedge of badness, he casts color spray.

I think that all of the skum are in the 15-foot cone area of effect. I'm not casting defensively as I'm hoping they don't have combat reflexes. If they do, I'll trigger mesmeric mirror.

Color spray is DC 16 Will with a -2 penalty to the red skum for hypnotic stare, and categories for color spray are all bumped up one HD due to mesmerist's mental potency.

Skum Saves +3 Each: 4d20 ⇒ (7, 9, 12, 3) = 31
Gerlach Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Well, this combat ended pretty quickly then.

Skum Unconscious, Blinded, and Stunned: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4
Skum Blinded then Stunned: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Gerlach gets stunned for one round, to which Tesson finds no resistance walking over the bodies of the other skum and bashing Gerlach's face with the mug.

All Pathfinders are now up!

Dolph shouts in triumph as the big fish surrenders. He shouts again as the swarm of enemies descends on them. "VICTOR. More POACHERS." He enters the fray along with his trusty goat.

Dolph Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn-Dergar vs Red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Well, this combat ended pretty quickly then.

That was scarily effective.

Bargin with that creature. I'd assume kill it. It enslaves everything

Darrioos moves and fires his bow at the skum. But his arrow flies in the air towards the ceiling.
